I did flashlight check and I cant see any picture or with the back off there is no leds working. AND
No LED's are working and I can see things on the flashlight check. So I believe no backlight. It took you one day and two tries to perform the flashlight test correctly. Many, but not all, Samsung models had the backlight testing feature (Unplug the Main to PS/LED Driver board cable at either end and the LEDS should light (and stay lit).) It is possible that the LEDs failing may have also taken out the PS/LED Driver board, but your real problem is LED bulb related. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samsung TVs of this model's vintage were shipped with the Back Light Intensity at Maximum to produce a vivid picture. Samsung never informed the purchasers that running the TV with the back lights at maximum would affect the longevity of the individual LED bulb(s) causing them to fail prematurely. Using the flashlight test, get to the LED backlight Intensity control in the Customer Menu and see where it is set. ------------------------- Location: Far, Far Away
